I caught the last half of it and was surprised on how much they focused upon Hammett.

The documentary also stated that both Hammett and Chandler were influenced by Hemingway. I'm pretty sure rara avians have dealt with this assumption before, but I find it unfounded. I've read that Hemingway read Hammett before he started writing his novels.
